Freddy Galvis: Long term solution for the Reds?

Since the Reds picked him up off waivers 13 games and 50 plate appearances ago, Galvis is slashing .404/.420/.702 with an OPS of 1.122 (you can thank some “Punisher” guy for not allowing you the highest OPS on the team, Freddy).

Sure, that’s a small sample size, but Galvis’ success goes beyond the current 13 game vacuum. In each of his last two seasons Freddy Galvis has posted a WAR of 2.3 or more. One of the biggest appeals of Galvis is his ability to hit for power – hitting 22 home runs in 2018 and well on his way to eclipsing that with 22 already this season.
